Guv'nah Bob Riley, a Republican, has a new tax proposal set to go before the people for a vote on September 9. The new proposal would mean a readjustment in the state's antiquated tax structure. Problem is, he's raising lots of taxes, and the money goes into one of those lovely slush funds. A friend sent this report suggesting that maybe the taxes woes of the Great State of Alabama aren't all they're cracked up to be.
